The Knicks' point guard situation is dire and the obvious hole in their team, there's really no way for the Mavs to compete with what they could offer him, which is a starting PG job and $20 million+ in salary.
Obviously a lot still depends on how the playoffs play out. If the Mavs decide to move on from KP, and we could find a way to trade him for a high-quality two-way playmaker, then the obvious other move would be to trade Brunson to NY for Robinson+our pick back.
I have a couple of thoughts. I don't think there is a realistic way someone would value Brunson at 20 per. He is a good player but not that good. Of course he has a full season to further improve and prove me wrong.
Knicks will be looking to solve their PG problem this year.
